• Expert proficiency in at least one modern backend language: C#, Java, or Kotlin.
• Basic understanding of web development technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
• Experience with a modern framework (React or Angular) is a significant asset.
• Proven experience working with relational databases, specifically MSSQL or PostgreSQL, including schema design and query optimization.
• Strong background in designing, developing, and maintaining RESTful APIs and event-driven microservices.
• Experience in CI/CD pipeline management (e.g. GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) and version control systems (preferably Git).
• Strong understanding of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and experience with modern development tools and practices, including JIRA, Confluence, Scrum, and Agile methodologies.
• Hands-on experience with containerization technologies, particularly Docker, for application development and deployment.
• Exceptional analytical skills and a track record of solving complex, real-time problems.
• Eagerness to work with or learn other programming languages like Go or Python.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with DevOps practices and deployment on Cloud Platforms (preferably Azure).
• Prior knowledge or experience in the Automated Warehouse domain (WMS, WES, or WCS systems).
• Familiarity with low-latency communication protocols and message queues (e.g. MQTT).
